Today's Opinions

A recent column by David Meredith explored the Theory of Evolution. Meredith wrote that the Theory of Evolution is not anywhere close to scientific fact and that the scientific community does not agree on the factuality of the theory... He also claimed the Theory of Evolution has throughout history contributed to numerous atrocities, including but not limited to the Holocaust.

To the editor:
It started with a late night phone call, the kind that gives you a sick feeling in the pit of your stomach. On the other end of the line was a frantic voice telling me my brother-in-law, James, had been killed by a gunshot.
To have a family member taken away in this heinous manner is the kind of thing that can rip a family apart.

Today I took my oldest daughter to Freshman Orientation. It was an exciting day, and I really enjoyed the two hour drive with her.
The day we move her into the dorm will be our 20th wedding anniversary. Two big milestones that I’m sure will leave me in a state of pondering, if not a bit emotional.

During my unsuccessful campaign (only 406 votes short!) for Property Valuation Administrator, in late 2009 I began an earnest compilation of various documents from the office of Ron Winters, PVA.

Losing a son or daughter from death is the worst kind of pain you can ever go through, but to lose them by gunshots is horrifying. I lost my oldest son Feb. 1, 2009. It has taken the life right out of my family and me.
The La Grange Police made an arrest in three days after my son’s death.

To the editor:
On February 1, 2009, my step-son was killed in La Grange. Here it is July 28, 2011 and this case has never come to trial. My wife and I have been to court in La Grange over 40 times in the past two and a half years.
It seems that once the case was to come to trial the judge, Karen Conrad, declared it a mistrial and laid it over until March 2012.
